DIY Halloween Costume: Swan Lake

admin — Thu, 24 Oct 2019 02:05:25 +0000

DIY SWAN LAKE This happens to me every year, I never know when to start planning my Halloween costume bc I never really know my plans that far in advance. I end up either throwing something together last minute or doing absolutely nothing bc even if I end up having plans the effort just isn’t there. But this Halloween I’m so excited, because Adaline is finally old enough to understand playing “dress up”. Last year was dicey so we put her in skeleton pajamas to be safe but I was impressed with how quick she took to trick or treating, going door to door to get candy. Candy that mommy and daddy only ate but maybe this year I will give her a piece or two. Maybe. So! I wanted to share my quick and easy DIY Halloween costumes I made all via our beloved, Amazon Prime. We actually went to Party City to pick out a family costume but they all just looked cheap to me and I felt a bit overwhelmed. So we left with a shark costume for dada because, like every kid, Adaline is still obsessed with Baby Shark and I left feeling inspired to come […]

What She Really Wants: Mother’s Day Gift Guide

admin — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 23:16:40 +0000

Here’s a gift guide this Mother’s Day for stuff she reeeeeally wants. Coming from a mom, take my advise and pass this along to all the lost, miss guided dad’s out there or kids with a wallet 😉 Bra: This one is for the significant other to give of course, but a cute yet comfortable bra can be surprisingly hard to find these days. Love the colors, fit and fabrication from underbares. They are thoughtfully designed with stretch lace that hold the girls so well and comfortably I forget I’m even wearing one. Plus they are fun and cute and designed in DC! Love supporting my home area. Wine: That one should be pretty obvious, the all holy grail known as mom juice that is the perfect night cap after an exhausting long day. Instead of giving her a bottle, giver her a subscription or her first box from Winc! They are a wine delivery subscription that has hand picked over 100 wines to make your experience of exploring new wines more pleasurable. How could one not like a curated box to your palate sent straight to your door step to indulge with out all that hassle. Who has time […]

Easter Basket Gift Guide

admin — Fri, 05 Apr 2019 03:28:39 +0000

I’ll admit, last year I didn’t get too crazy with Easter. We made a small basket of goodies for her, dressed her up (which we don’t do too often) and went to church. That was about it. Since we have no family around us, celebrating the holidays alone can be a bit underwhelming especially when trying to get in to the spirit of things. However! This year, now that baby girl is almost 2 and functioning more like a human being (more so than she was last year where she could barely walk!) I want to get in to it more. Adaline has been all about dinosaurs the past month. So much that the theme for her 2nd birthday is going to be a dino time! So I only found it fitting to find her more dinosaur goodies to stuff her basket. That and her easter basket is actually a dinosaur! How cute, right? Sharing a quick peak in to our easter basket and the stuffers I thought were perfect for her age (all from Target) along with a few others that I need to jump on before the big day. Garden Tools: Teach your little one the ways of […]
